HELP....My BIOS

I popped out my CMOS battery TO delete a bios password, and now when I power the system...there is no life. The monitor is just blank. Heeeeeeeeelp please.

RESET your BIOS by using the jumper on the mobo.(see other post)

[adzidzor]

I'll try that...I hope it's not too complex a thing to do....

[adzidzor]

what should I do to the jumpers on the mobo...

[berks]

you should just have to pull off the jumper for a little while and then put it back in place and you should be done. It should say how to do this in your MB book.

Clearing the CMOS is your only option. It is usually a 3-pin block near the round, silver battery with a 2-pin jumper on it. If you move it over to the other pin so it looks like this [X] [X] [ ] instead of this [ ] [X] [X], then that should clear the CMOS. (Best to do this while the computer is off). Check your manual to see which setting clears the bios for your MB.
